Rounded down from around 4.5 stars ⭐️ I absolutely love Nell Pattison’s works, I was so excited when I found out this book was coming out!

Hide follows a group of seven friends in a nature group. During one of their excursions one of them is killed, but which of them did it? The rest of them must race to try and save themselves.

In all of Pattison’s works there is a character who is deaf. I absolutely love this because it has taught me so much that I did not know before. This book was no exception, and I ended up learning so much about cochlear implants! I love this unique take that Pattison uses to raise awareness.

The book follows the points of view of all of the seven group members which I loved. It added so much depth, and it was clearly marked with who each chapter was linked to. The chapters were short and the book was fast paced. However, there was one point where I felt it was getting a little bit too repetitive for me. I loved the eerie setting and found myself not wanting to put the book down! There were so many twists and cliffhangers I felt like I was continuously on the edge of my seat. Although I worked out some of the twists I still enjoyed being shocked by the others! Warning: the cliffhangers at the end of chapters may keep you up all night reading ‘just one more chapter’.

I would recommend this to any thriller fans, especially if you fancy something a bit different. I am so grateful to Avon Books and Nell Pattison for allowing me to read a copy of this book and give my personal thoughts.
